Comment
Human infection with Clostridium tetani produces little, if any, immunity, and therefore serologic testing for the C. tetani organism itself (which this term represents) is not useful. However, vaccination with tetanus toxoid produces active immunity, and post-vaccine serologic testing for tetanus toxoid antibodies is performed. The LOINC codes that represent tetanus toxoid antibodies include the word "toxoid" in the Component, e.g., "Clostridium tetani toxoid Ab".

Part Description

LP16678-2   Clostridium tetani
Clostridium tetani is a bacterium of the genus Clostridium. Like other Clostridium species, it is Gram-positive, resembling tennis rackets or drumsticks. In 1884, the strychnine-like toxin of tetanus was isolated from free-living, anaerobic soil bacteria and shortly thereafter, in 1890, a vaccine was developed using tetanus toxoid.
